Difference between Plasma (physics) and Solar wind

Plasma (physics) vs. Solar wind

Plasma is one of four fundamental states of matter (the other three being solid, liquid, and gas) characterized by the presence of a significant portion of charged particles in any combination of ions or electrons. The solar wind is a stream of charged particles released from the Sun's outermost atmospheric layer, the corona.

Similarities between Plasma (physics) and Solar wind

Plasma (physics) and Solar wind have 22 things in common (in Unionpedia): Aurora, Charged particle, Electron, Gravity, Hannes Alfvén, Heliosphere, Interplanetary medium, Interstellar medium, Ion, Ionosphere, Kelvin, Kinetic energy, Lorentz force, Magnetic field, Magnetohydrodynamics, Magnetosphere, Maxwell–Boltzmann distribution, Shock wave, Solar eclipse, Solar flare, Stellar corona, Sun.

Aurora

An aurora (aurorae or auroras), also commonly known as the northern lights (aurora borealis) or southern lights (aurora australis), is a natural light display in Earth's sky, predominantly seen in high-latitude regions (around the Arctic and Antarctic).

Hannes Alfvén

Hannes Olof Gösta Alfvén (30 May 1908 – 2 April 1995) was a Swedish electrical engineer, plasma physicist and winner of the 1970 Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on magnetohydrodynamics (MHD).

Interplanetary medium

The interplanetary medium (IPM) or interplanetary space consists of the mass and energy which fills the Solar System, and through which all the larger Solar System bodies, such as planets, dwarf planets, asteroids, and comets, move.

Magnetosphere

In astronomy and planetary science, a magnetosphere is a region of space surrounding an astronomical object in which charged particles are affected by that object's magnetic field.

Maxwell–Boltzmann distribution

In physics (in particular in statistical mechanics), the Maxwell–Boltzmann distribution, or Maxwell(ian) distribution, is a particular probability distribution named after James Clerk Maxwell and Ludwig Boltzmann.

Solar eclipse

A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby obscuring the view of the Sun from a small part of Earth, totally or partially.
